Cook is a serial stodger and takes away too much momentum at the top of the order. Root is just out of his depth at the moment (maybe in the future). You really need the top 4 to be able to give the innings some impetus even though these two openers average less than Cook and Bell. With Anderson injured/homesick at the moment, you could have Finn in there.

Here we were thinking we didnt have much depth a year ago to think now there are some players in stellar form I mean guys that cant get a run at the moment but are in form in the shorter form of the game like
Pattinson
Cutting
Bird
Lynn
White
Klinger
